Advice buying Genuine C-Class W202 floor mats

I bought some "tailored" floor mats for my Mercedes W202 C-Class off ebay but they were no good and were not the right size / fit so I had to send them back.

Now looking at genuine Mercedes mats. Merc dealer said I wanted part number B66293151 90 quid + VAT and he wasn't sure if they could still get them.

Looking online the only images / information I can see for this part number is here on some Russian site.

Why are most of the Merc part number sites Russian? Just wondering.

Anyway's I have also seen these Merc mats on a German site at a reasonable price. They look a different shape and have a different part number however which is B66359111.

Also I presume I need to be careful when buying from outside the UK, with regard to fitments for LHD vs RHD ?

I've also just seen these ribbed mats for Merc W202 on ebay I may give them a try if I cannot find any genuine ones.

Here are some pictures of the ones I sent back, which as you can see are not even the correct size when compared to my old genuine mats. I only actually need a replacement for the drivers mat the other three are still decent. There is a nice one here on eBay now but its blue and not black which is a shame.

It's been mentioned a few times here in recent years that OEM W202 mats can no longer be sourced from dealers. I don't know if that's correct, as I haven't needed to replace a mat for a while. If you search the forum, there will be various mentions of where to get good quality mats from, the one that comes to mind is Special Vehicle Services. Might be a little pricey, I believe. Good luck!

So I went ahead and ordered a set of mats from ValueCarMats.com I paid 11.84 including postage I guess at that price you can't really go wrong. If they last me 12 months until I buy some better quality more expensive ones I'll be happy enough.

The mats as expected are very thin however they are the right shape and a decent enough fit in the car. The website says the colour is off Black / Charcoal they are more of a grey colour but that is OK for me. There is no heel pad on the drivers mat and the ribbing in the carpet goes horizontally rather than vertically.

The rear mats are a bit too short at the top see photo, the drivers mat and front passenger side are a very good fit. Much better than the last set I ordered off eBay.

If you are looking for some cheap budget mats for your W202 these are good.

You can see on this photo how the rear mats are just a little too short

Bought a set for my S210. Yes, it's a little on the thin side, but they do fit really well. My only minor issue with them is it has 2 locating holes on the drivers mat to keep it in place, but none on the others.

All in all, great value and I still don't know how they do it for £11.84 including Fedex next day delivery.

On second thoughts I would not recommend these cheap mats from Valuecarmats. I've had them a week and there are two marks wearing through in to holes already. Backing crumbling and leaving grey dust on the floor. Well I guess it was worth a try at that price as they might have been alright. Apparently MrCarMats is also same / sister company.

2000 gram? Most of the sellers on eBay state 2000 gram but if they are as thin as these mats I have now none of them will be any good. Don't want to spend £40 for another set on eBay if they are also poor quality.
